We have just added a new section to our website with resources for local folks who are dealing with impacts of the coal industry - from bad water to blasting damage - or are concerned about new mining in their area. This includes resources about how to file complaints with regulatory agencies, how to document information for lawsuits or for regulators, how to request information under the Freedom of Information Act, how to find information about mining plans and understand permits, and more! The coal industry has a well-deserved reputation for mining irresponsibly, profiting off our communities, and buying off local regulatory agencies. If you are concerned about the impacts of the coal industry in your community, we are here to help - please look through our resources and contact us.
